MEGA EP

Tracklist A1. Mega A2. Rules B1. Film 1 B2. Film 2 B2. Film 3 Release Info: Even if Ancient Greek isn™t part of general knowledge anymore, the word mega is. Hence, you might admire our modesty to say that Roman Flügel™s first outing on Running Back in 2022 is perfectly headed. Greta, large, mighty and somewhat the love- or brainchild of his earlier Garden Party and the previous D.I.S.C.O., Mega pulls out all the stops: hi-nrg melodies, circus bells, cowboy funk and honey hooks at 140 beats per minute. While it is nearly impossible not to take this bait or decorate it with the Bobby-O medal of honor, Roman proves one more that you can be catchy and classy at the same time. Rules on the other hand, puts some of these stylistic devices in reverse or down-tempo mode and feels like brushing your teeth after an extended feast or the perfect hors d™oeuvre. Completing the picture with Film 1, Film 2 and Film 3, Flügel flexes his freethinking muscles and lands in-between art school new wave bands and soundscape science. Music that is masterly made, magical in its impact and perfectly described with a misquoted line from Get The Balance Right: it™s never predictable. Short: New EP by Roman Flügel on Running Back. Following 2020s Garden Party euphoria and it™s successor D.I.S.C.O., Mega is their beautiful love- or brainchild with Hi-nrg melodies and hone hooks clocking in at 140 bpm. Added to the menu are four more tracks that test the limits between down-tempo tropes, soundscape science and new wave art school aesthetics.
